This year\u2019s election is one of the most diverse in the city\u2019s history. Four of the five candidates vying to become Boston\u2019s next mayor are women. Chief among them: City Councilor Michelle Wu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview for Pero Make It Newsy, I spoke with Wu about her historic campaign, key issues facing Boston voters and why she\u2019s the only mayoral candidate on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u200b\u200bBoston is in the midst of an urgent housing crisis, and families are being displaced from our city. People across the board can\u2019t afford to live in Boston and now thousands are facing eviction after the lifting of the evictions moratorium. So the real question isn\u2019t why I\u2019m the only candidate for providing relief, it\u2019s why everyone else isn\u2019t,\u201d Wu said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added: \u201cThis is urgent across the city. It\u2019s the top issue I hear from residents all across our neighborhoods and we need to take every possible step to increase the supply of housing and also to stabilize communities and keep people in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from this exclusive interview, this week\u2019s issue of the Latina journalist-curated Pero Make It Newsy looks at Jasmine Camacho-Quinn winning Puerto Rico\u2019s first Olympic gold in track and two must-read stories on women\u2019s reproductive health. Princess Party Time is back with a new paw-ndering about a very un-fun trip to the vet\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers can catch this week\u2019s issue at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peromakeitnewsy.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pero Make It Newsy<\/strong><\/a>.
